Teddy was born on Halloween of last year he is still a baby. We got him from Petland, unfortunately with a job switch we don’t have much time for him. We feel like he deserves more time and attention. He is a playful puppy with lots of energy and he loves to cuddle

Story
Meet Inu 💕 She is a pure bred Sheba Inu and roughly 2 years of age (she was initially rescued in 2023). Due to health circumstances with my Aunt, she desperately needs a home. She is a sweet girl; however, will need some proper house training as this wasn’t able to be done by my Aunt consistently. She is connected with Columbus Humane Society; however, we all know that sometimes they’re full to capacity and can’t always guarantee a dog won’t be put down.

Adopting a Schipperke

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Schipperke - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Schipperke for much less than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Schipperke is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. But buying Schipperkes from breeders can run anywhere from $800 to $1,200.

The easiest way to adopt a Schipperke would be through a rescue that specializes in Schipperkes. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Schipperkes in your area.
